wheels B, by suitable gearing, V W, which should be so arranged as to revolve the said cam-roller U with a rapid motion.

Y is a lever, pivoted to some suitable support, and the forked end ot which rides upon a groove in the hub of the wheel W, so that the said gearing maybe thrown out of and into gear when desired.

From the upper end ofthe carrier M, the seedl threshed out by the beaters 1t 'alls into the hopper Z, from which it passes to the screen A', placed upon the top of the seed-box B', attached to the frame (i, into which the seed passes, the chaicscaping between the lower edge of the rear side of the hoppcr' 'and the upper edge of the rear side ot` the box B'.

C are fingers att-ached to the upper edge ot' the hopper Z, and extending up to the upper end of the carrier M, to receive the hay from said carrier and conduct it to the truelr-rack D lhe truck-rack D' is mounted upon small wheels, 1Q', and its sides and ends may bc rigidly or dctachably connected with each other. l prefer to connect them detachably, so that the rack maybe loosened to allow the hay to be more easily raised from it.

The truck-rack D E' is detachably connected with the frame O ofthe machine, so that it inay be drawn forward by and with said machine while being` filled, and when filled, readily detached and drawn to the stack or mow where the hay is to be deposited.

` l1" is a pole or bar, the lower end of which fits loosely into a socket vformed for its receptioin in the bottom ot the rack D.

In the upper end of the pole F', is formed, or to it is attached, an eye, to receive the hook of the hoist-- ing-rope, by which the hay is raised upon the stack, or into the mow where it is to be deposited.

G'are looped ropes, through the lower part ofwhich the lower end of thc pole F'is passed, when arranging the rack to receive the hay from the carrier M.

lhe upper parts ofthe looped ropes G'are laid over the sides and ends ol' the rack l as shown in 1 and 2.

When the rack D' has been tilled, and drawn to the place where it is to be unloaded, the upper parts of the looped ropes G are brought together, and passed over the hook of the hoisting-rope, by means of which the hay is to be raised to its place.

\Vhen the hoisting-apparatus is operated, the looped ropes G will raise the hay and the pole F out ot' the rack D', the strain upon said looped ropes causing them ro be drawn tightly upon the lower part of the said pole F' lVhen the hay has been deposited in the desired place, the hoisting-apparatus is slightly slackened, and the hook removed from the looped ropes G', and hooked into the eye ot' the pole 1*", or hooked into said eye, without being detached from the said looped ropes G'. rlhen, as the hoisting-apparatus is again started, the pole F is drawn upward, so to release the lower parts of the looped ropes G', leaving the hay deposited in the desired place.

Several ot' the truck-racks D' E FG should be used, so that one maybe drawn away and emptied while another is heilig filled.

llaving thus described my invention,

l` claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. Au improved hay-rake and loader, formed by the combination of the trame A, wheels B, inner frame O, wheels and shaft-1) E, teeth or'ringers F, guard-bar (jr, and carrier M N, with each other, substantially as herein shown and described, and for the purpose set forth.

2. The combination ofthe gleaner H 1, arm J, and catch-bar K, with the frames Ofand A; rake-teeth or lingers F, and carrier M, substantially as herein shown and described, and for the purpose set forth.

3. rlhe threshing-device R. S S' T U, in combination with the frame and carrier of a -hay-rake and loader, substantially as herein shown and described, and for the purpose set forth.

4. The combination of the hopper or guide Z, screen A', and seed-box I3', with the frame C, carrier M, and threshing-device ,l S l U, of a hay-rake and loader, substantially as herein shown and described, and for the purpose set forth.

5. The combination of the looped ropes G', and detachable pole F', with the rack D', substantially as herein shown and described, and for the purpose set forth.

6. The combination of the truck-rack 1)' E' looped ropes G', and detachable pole 11", with the frame C 'and carrier M ot' the lmy-rake und loader, substantially as herein shown and described, and for the purpose set forth. A
